Several sim ilar institutes have come under our per sonal notice and doubtless under that of most observers. One of them, specially illustrating ib ; idea In mind, is reported by itn* American Orange Bulletin, being tile experience of a “gentleman who was very poor.” “Hi- place ot residence was In a small town ol about I.BUO people. Adjoining were many rich farms, and land was plenty; the rent being about live.dollars per acre. His first move was to lookup a reliable nursery from which to pur rli.i ; e l fie wee-ury plants. This done, an 1 all arrangements made for a supply ol the last varieties of strawberries, ra spberrieH, blackberries ami grapes, the next step was toward securing the land. Being short of funds, the rule was to Mart at lirt on a small scale, so three acres of good land was leased for a term of six years, aud the rent lor the first year, fifteen dollars, paid in advance. “I hen hi* portioned oil" the following number of plants to set out the three acre . One at re was to go in strawber ries, one in blackberries, one-half acre in biaek ra- pberries, one-fourth in red rasp berries, and the rest, one-fourth ot an a. re, to grapevines. Our friend had no horses, so be hired the ground broken in the fall. When spring arrived the land \\ a-ploughed again, well harrowed and marked out. for the plants. These were very carefully planted at ;be proper dis tances, and then came the work of till age. “An occasional day’s hire for a man and horse did the heaviest of the work, while his own arms and a good, bright hoe tended the remainder. Between the rows of all the plants, excepting the strawberries, garden truck was put in and tended along with the small fruits. When fall came the plants were found to have made a very fine and healthy growth, and there was a splendid crop of vegetables also. Part had been already harvested and disposed of at a good vantage, while the remainder was ready for a like disposal. Enough had been realized in this way to pay another year’s rent in advance, buy a few berry-boxes and have a little left. “In the village there was an enterpris ing grocer who had been a keen observer oi our friend’s fruit garden, and he made advances toward securing the crop fur sale. He would sell the fruit at a com mission oi ir> per cent on each dollar’s worth, if the grower wanted cash, or would pay full value—dollar for dollar il goods were taken in payment for ber ries. There would he only the straw pen its to put in market the second sea son, lint our triend had planned so well a-to varieties, aud given them such at tention, that the acre patch would vield a handsome crop. “A horse and light spring wagon were purchased on time. iwi then, the second year’s tTlfiTgC Was easily done; besides a conveyance was prepared for the trans portation of the berries. Three young girls were engaged to do the berry [lick ing, which with his own help was suffi cient. Before time came for harvesting ihc crop, there were many weeks allowed lor cultivation, which was done most by horse, js’o culture being needed for the st raw berries, the two remaining acres of other fruits could easily he handled and kept in good shape. To he sure there were many other matters to attend to, such as cutting hack the raspberry canes, making berry-boxes, culture being the greatest essential. “In the latter part of May the straw berries began to ripen, and soon the berry picking came on in earnest. All this time the other plants were making a fine growth and were not neglected. Ttie acte of strawberries turned out splendidly, the total uumhci of quarts being I.sort and over. The first brought i *2ocents a quart, then fell to l.*>, then to 'd finally to 10 cents a box. All! this was very satisfactory, and the next, year 'a not lit r strawberry crop and a full crop Iron, the other plants. Xow, this i the way mu* mm started, and he grad ually iiuit i'.*d his fields until now he has twenty acres in small fruits alone, i Anv other man can do just as well and perhaps better. Think over tiie matter, my, triend, and see if you cannot by this j means better your condition.” Ihe lev-on of the foregoing is as ob vious as if is applicable in the thickly ■'’tiled sections of the country, which are brought, more and more into competition i with theyheaper lands of the wide and let-tile Hesf, It may he worth while in planning for another year to consider whether there is not a good opportunity tor improving one’s resources, and pro moting health and hanpine-ss ot rural neighbors, by raising small fruits ami the finer vegetables, like cauliflower, celery, i “to., the demand for " hieh is very roadi -1 v encouraged.

Shall I go, or stay Till the sun is tow in the west* • If here at night. Not even the moon will lend a ray To guide my sight To dangers till the dawn of day. Whennigbt is spent, AVill morning light dispel my gloom Ami bring content? Or, picture out my future doom Of banishment From all my loved ones, friends and home. Why thus consent t o leave them all, o'er earth to roam? Ah, woe is me! A stranger, in a stranger's land They let me lx?, Nor offer a pittance to my hand. At yonderdoor I called and humbly asked for bread And nothing more— ‘•l’m a widow, without food," she said. Then why pursue This lonely walk from day to day, With no object in view? Nothing to cheer me on the way; The rich aud poor Nor know, nor care to hear iny word, But close their door, And hence my story is unheard. Why don’t they hear The saddest story of my life? A single bier Carried at once my child and wife. They laid them low. Oh, yes; in mind T seif the spot: ’Tis way below My lonely and deserted cot. O, God ot love Hear; my petitiou, hear my cry, Pity and comfort, or I die. .Make me to feel That whate’er Thy chastening rod. Thou wilt reveal Thyself, toy everlasting God. Daylight is gone; Evening shadows hover ’round At early dawn My heart shall then with joy abound. Even now I feel My burdens iight fewer my care®, And humbly kneel To offer up my feeble prayers. My bed is hard, My head is pillowed on a stone— Both [joint toward x ne star that on Bethlehem shone. M >.y t receive The o /ershadowing of His wings, And ever believe Him Lord of Lords and King of Kings. O, mother dear! To-morrow morn I’ll on my way, And will be near To tell thee that 1 repent the day That I left thee. Heap thy blessings on my head, Accept my plea Xow I’ve given up the dead.

Elliwerth.] ‘ 1 guess Fil back out of it somehow,” muttered Arthur Swain, drawing his new sled Uito the stable and stow ing it away under the stairs. “Back out of what ?” asked his broth er, entering in time to hear Arthur’s low words. “Zakie Cole oilers for my old sled ten cents cents more than Oscar Blake, and I think 1 shaft let it go to the highest bid der,” exclaimed Arthur, in quite a busi ness-like tone. “ But didn’t you agree to let Oscar have it?” asked Dennis, quite surprised at his j brotliei’s sharpness. | “Yes; I told him I thought twenty | five cents all the sled was worth,” replied ! Arthur, somewhat disconcerted, “but I suppose now it is worth more, if Zakie will'give more.” “But you know Oscar expects to have it lor twenty-live cents,” returned Den nis. “You set your own price when he asked what he should give you for it. 1 wouldn't sell another boy’s sied,” he added somewhat scornfully.’ “I’ll sell my sled to the one who will give the most for it,” exclaimed Arthur angrily. “Thirty-live cents is cheap i enough.” “Cheap enough!” echoed a voice from i the gloomy depths of a room beyond. “Who is in there” and Arthur bolted through the open door to ascertain from j whom the voice came. “Oh, l ncle Dins, then you think mv : sled cheap enough at thirty-live cents ?” j asked the hoy, drawing the individual found into the open air. “1 was not thinkingof your sled at all,” i was the quiet reply. “I‘was thinking of i something else that was cheap enough.” I hit else, uncle? What Is cheap, enough ?” “A boy’s honor, Arthur. Don’t you ! think ten cents cheap enough for that?” asked Uncle Dana, looking kindly at the ; lad. * ! Arthur colored but said nothing. “Tell me truly, Arthiu”—and uncle i took the boy’s red face between his hands ! —“had no offer been made to you, would | you not have expected Oscar’to take the sled and pay twenty-five cents lor it?’’ “A es, uncle, I should,” was the un hesitating reply. “Honor b honor, my lad, w hether it be in your hands or Oscar Blake’s, and it demands the same usage from you that Would be expected from another. When ever you fail to do this, you sell your honor cheap, whether y*.u get ten cents or ten thousand dollars.” Arthur put the old sled beside the new one, and when Jakie Cole called, hoping to overreach Oscar Blake, who was una ble to buy anew sled, the boy found Arthur firm in his resolution to abide by his first bargain. “I thought Fd keep Oscar Blake from coasting on Carleton Hill,” exclaimed Z.kie in a vexed tone, “but now I sup pose w e must have him, patches and ail.” “Oscar isn t to blame for his patched clothes,” returned Arthur warmly: “and 1 am sure the patches are always neatly put on,” thinkingof the deliea’fe hands w hich did this service of love foi the poor boy. “I don’t care. All the rest ot the boys dress well, and we don’t want these rag- : am tiffins in our midst. If you will help him to a sled, you may him with you somewhere ele to ! eoa-itand with this Zakie was off Artnur watched his retreating form j through the dusky twilight, and thought j that honor was sold sometimes even cheaper than for dollars and cents. NOT DEAD YET. Atlanta papers are giving the public tome cur ious ami wonderful cases that are quite interest ing. It seems that a young lady of Atlanta had been reported as dead, but it came to the ears of the Atlanta Journal that she was still alive, and being on the alert for news, a reporter was sent to the residence to learn all the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway, who had been pronounced dead, met him at rhe door, stoutly denying that she wa* dead. Site said: “For four years, rheumatism and neuralgia have resisted physicians and all other treatment My muscles seemed to dry up, roy flesh shrank away, my joints were swollen,painful and large, lost my appetite, was reduced to 00 pounds in weight and for months, was expected to die. i con menced the use of B. B. B. and the action of one half a bottle convinced my friends that it would cure me. Its effects were like magic. It gave me an appetite—gave me strength, re lieved all pains and aches, added flesh to my ikmes, and when five bottles had been used I had gained 30 pounds of flesh, and I am to-day sound and well.’’ IS IT A LIB? Some one said that Potash was poison: Who makes the assertion except those who desire to mislead and humbug you? He who denounces other remidies as fravds, is quietly offering a vile compound of his own—beware of all such. Ask your physician or your druggist if Potash produces all the horrors claimed for it by those who urecompelled to traduce other preparations in order to appear respectable themselves.

Two More Important Cases. Your agent being in Columbus, Ga., a few d>vs | ago and meeting the venerable brother J. H. Campbell, we asked him for the news. His reply j was, “I have two more important cures effected ; by Swift's Sneeilic to report.” This venerable i man is known far and wide for his unremtting : labors of love in the behalf of the poor of C’olum ■ bus. It will be remembered that the Swift Spe cific Cos. has donated quite an amount of their : famous medicine, to be distributed by Mr. Cainp j bell among tiie poor of the city; hence hisrmark. i He said: j “l have just seen a lady who has been greatly annoyed by a tetter in one of her hands. It had giv en her rnneh trouble and pain. She said she had been treated by several physieians during the past three or four years with the old remedies, but without giving any relief. I suggested Swifts Spe cific and she took four bottles and is now appa rently perfectly well. Her hand is smooth, and not a single sign of the disease is left. It is j marvelous how this medicine renovates the srs- ] tern." “What about the other case?” “Well, that was a lady also. She had been badly affected with eczema for four years. Her face, hands and arms, as well as her body, were covered with sores and scabs. It was one of the worst cases of this terrible disease that I have ever seen. The suffering of this poor creature was beyond expression. She tried every remedy at hand, including mercury and iodide of potash but she only grew worse. She was in this condi tion when 1 first saw the case. I soon had her taking Swift’s Specific, and she has now oulv only taken two bottles, but every mark of Ihe disease has almost entirely 'disappeared. Her general health has greatly improved. It is one of the most remarkable cures that has come un der my notice, and in a ministry of sixty tears I have mingled with every class of society and observed closely the variety of diseases which affeetd humanity. Blood diseases are the moti numerous and most difficult to remove. Toover come these diseases, it is mv deliberate judge- . ment that Swift’s Specific is the grandest blood purifier ever discovered. Its effects are won derful, and i consider them almost miraclous. There is no medicine comparable to it.” Treaties on B 1 ood and Skin Diseases mailed free The Swift Specific Cos., Drawer 3 Atanta.
